SNAP benefits: These states will distribute payments on July 10
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program continues to send food benefits this month. Find out which states will distribute payments on July 10.
The US government has several food programs, the most popular being the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps. This provides benefits for low-income families to buy food.
Each month, the money is deposited into an Electronic Benefits Transfer card, which works like a debit card that can be used at certain grocery stores.
Despite being a federal program, SNAP is administered by state governments, so dates for receiving the benefits vary from state to state. Some states send money at the beginning of the month, while others send money during the first three weeks of the month in batches based on name, Social Security number, case number or account number.
